Alerts:
A Red Flag Warning will take effect at noon today for Dutchess and southern Ulster counties and will last until 7 p.m.
Forecast:
It’s a warm, breezy, and very dry day today, with plenty of sunshine pushing temperatures well into the 80s. Gusty south winds combined with low humidity will create an elevated risk for brush fires, so extra caution is needed with anything that could spark a flame.
That warmth doesn’t last long. A strong system moves in Wednesday, bringing widespread rain and even the chance for a thunderstorm. That rainfall will help lower the fire risk, followed by cooler and more seasonable air for the end of the week. A mix of sun and clouds continues into the weekend with a few spotty shower chances.
Today: Mostly sunny, warm, breezy, and dry. Highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Elevated fire risk.
Wednesday: Showers developing, with rain and possible thunderstorms later. Highs in the mid to upper 60s.
Thursday: Partly sunny with a chance of showers. Highs in the low to mid-60s.
Friday: Mostly sunny and seasonable. Highs in the low to mid-60s.
